ESPN’s Dan Murphy and Pete Thamel report the “tentative terms” of a settlement in the House case include the “NCAA paying more than $2.7B in past damages as well as setting up a system for its most powerful conferences to share a portion of their revenue with athletes moving forward. One major obstacle to reaching a settlement has been finding a way for the NCAA and its schools to protect themselves from future lawsuits, including potential claims they would be colluding to cap player compensation without using a collective bargaining agreement.” Steve Berman, co-lead counsel for the plaintiffs, tells ESPN he and his team have proposed a solution that would extend the class-action settlement on an annual basis. In this scenario, athletes would receive a notice each year providing them with the opportunity to object to the terms of the revenue-share agreement. Berman explains those athletes would then have the chance to attend a hearing and persuade the judge that the revenue-share arrangement was unfair in order to push for a change. "Each year we would have a hearing where any new athlete who wasn't previously bound [by the settlement] can come and object. They would have to come and say, 'I don't think this is fair.' That would be a hard burden to prove." Murphy and Thamel also report the belief that the power conferences have the majority votes to settle. “The Big Ten is generally on board with settling. The SEC has some detractors of settling but is trending to a majority. The Big 12 is expected to follow along. There's some dissension in the ACC, which has amplified why Florida State and Clemson are suing to leave the league, but sources say it's unlikely the ACC will end up voting against it.” Lots more.

Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger reports a settlement in the House case “is expected to feature nearly $2.9B in back damages for former players; a future revenue sharing model with athletes starting at as much as $22M annually per school; and an overhaul of the NCAA scholarship and roster structure. While plaintiffs attorneys Steve Berman and Jeffrey Kessler mostly declined to discuss specifics of the case, Berman tells Dellenger: “As we had [settlement] discussions, they were playing both sides. [NCAA President] Charlie Baker would run to Capitol Hill to say, ‘Let’s pass a bill!’ for complete immunity. Every time Charlie would go talk to someone on the Hill, I’d go talk to someone on the Hill. I was trying to explain why they [NCAA] are not entitled to immunity.” Dellenger notes that “industry leaders describe the next two weeks as, perhaps, the most consequential in college athletics history, laying out a timeline for potential ratification of a deal as soon as the week of May 20.” Kessler: “This is very simple. What’s worse for them? A deal that is negotiated together that everyone, their commissioners and president of the NCAA, thinks will be a meaningful system? Or would they like to lose in court?” If the two sides agree on a settlement, Dellenger notes it could still take several months to conclude the process: “(1) Judge Claudia Wilken…must approve the settlement terms, which ‘should easily be satisfied,’ said Berman; (2) Athletes who are part of the class receive a notice about the terms with a choice to object to any terms or completely opt out of the settlement; and (3) a final approval hearing, or hearings, is scheduled in court.” Kessler says the settlement would not be completed by the start of the academic year. In regards to the settlement’s Title IX implications, Berman says: “It doesn’t impact us. If we have a settlement, we’ll negotiate a system in which athletes will be compensated. The degree in which Title IX applies will be determined [by the courts].” (link)

The Mercury News’ Jon Wilner posits that by adding Grand Canyon and Seattle, the WCC “did more than fortify its ranks. It added the perfect school to carry the conference banner in the event Gonzaga leaves in coming years. … Grand Canyon, which is based in Phoenix, has immense potential in men’s basketball as a private school with deep pockets, the backing of former Phoenix Suns owner Jerry Colangelo and – crucially – no football program. The Lopes, who beat Saint Mary’s in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, possess the wherewithal to attract and sign high-end talent, reach the NCAAs regularly and advance to the second weekend occasionally. … In our view, the Lopes have more potential than Saint Mary’s and will become Gonzaga’s primary competition for WCC supremacy the minute they join the conference.” As for what the expansion portends in regards to Gonzaga’s future in the league, one source tells Wilner: “This has nothing to do with Gonzaga leaving. Nine schools was a death knell. We were too small. It was too hard to schedule.” Furthermore, Wilner notes the Zags lack the support needed within the Big 12 to make a move to that conference. Also: “[Mountain West] Commissioner Gloria Nevarez and her presidents must assess their strategic options in the wake of the WCC adding Grand Canyon and Seattle. A reconfigured conference that includes Washington State and Oregon State — and potentially competes under the Pac-12 banner — might see value in adding Gonzaga. This much seems clear: The WCC’s shrewd decision to invite GCU and Seattle won’t be the final move; more realignment is coming to the West Coast.” (link)

The North Carolina Board of Trustees has approved an audit of the athletic department “amid concerns and anger over the Tar Heels' revenue, management and changes to college sports,” according to WRAL’s Brian Murphy, who adds the board “approved a top line of $134.97M for the department as part of its all-funds budget that is due to the Board of Governors this week, but demanded further discussion with athletics director Bubba Cunningham.” Board Chair John Preyer: "I think it's imperative for the board to hear all of this in closed session. I don't think they understand the level of bad data that has been provided, and I think it is incumbent on us to get it right." Trustee Jen Evans noted the athletic department submitted a preliminary budget proposal with a $17M deficit for the 2024-25 academic year and $100M in cumulative deficits moving forward. "With no plans to address that, to mitigate that, I don't want anyone to think we're talking in code. There are real issues here, a real concern that one of the most valuable assets and something that really generates revenue is not being managed properly. That is the need for the question and answer and that is the need for the audit." Trustee Ralph Meekins defended Cunningham and said that the deficits were forecast during COVID because the school did not cut programs. “I don't appreciate the comments and inferences that the athletic director has not been forthcoming and available when we want to talk to him.” Trustee Dave Boliek said he wants UNC to join a league with higher revenue. "I am advocating for that. That's what we need to do. We need to do everything we can to get there. Or the alternative is the ACC is going to have to reconstruct itself. I think all options are on the table.” (link)

Former Utah State men’s basketball student-athlete Great Osobor has committed to Washington out of the transfer portal and will earn at least $2M this season, making him the highest-paid known player in college basketball. Field of 68’s Jeff Goodman notes the arrangement could be worth as much as $2.2M depending on other deals and adds that “for comparison, the 30th pick in this year's NBA Draft will earn around $2.5M.” The Mercury News’ Jon Wilner: “Good chance we'll look back on Osobor deal as the apex of this era of free market college athletics. Unrestricted movement. Unrestricted payments. Unrestricted everything. Even in the revenue-sharing era to come, athletes might not have it as good as they have it now.” (link, link, link)

The Athletic’s college football staff catches up with several coaches, NIL officials, agents, staffers and players to get the scoop on how NIL and the transfer portal really work. One GM explains how there are ways around making direct contact to gauge the interest of potential transfers: “You can follow a kid on Instagram, you can like his stuff. You know if he’s liking your stuff back that he likes you, or if you follow him on Twitter and he follows you back — the kid is not dumb, that’s happening for a reason. Back a few years ago when people weren’t tampering as much, that’s the way you did it. … I think there are some schools that straight-up just call the kid, text them, talk to them. It’s reckless.” Once they enter the portal, some players report hearing from as many as 60-70 schools. One AC says there are some advantages to recruiting from the portal: “You get straight to the brass tacks of it, right? … Getting them in and out, showing them the depth chart, showing them the opportunities, talking about the NIL aspect and how they can take advantage of that. It’s more of a business model.” On getting deals done, one personnel staffer says the following about players’ representatives: “Some of them are highly qualified agents who are reputable and have history and background of success within the world. Then you have this other group of agents who have no f—ing clue what they’re doing.” One GM adds: “You have to have the balls to say no to the players or stand up to the agents. If you open up your hand, they’re just going to try to eat from it at all times. We had a player who wasn’t very good tell us on a visit he would sign immediately if we promised him $15K a month. Yeah, no s— you would.” Lots more. (link)

Baylor has created a new NIL unit that will be led by Assoc. AD for External Affairs Operations David Kaye, who will take over in a new role as NIL GM. Kaye and his team will be tasked with “properly supporting the NIL efforts of Baylor's student-athletes and the Baylor-focused collective, GXG. The newly formed area will work in collaboration with the NIL Advisory Council and GXG CEO Jon Passavant.” Bears AD Mack Rhoades: "We are excited to officially announce this formally. David has been a key player in Baylor's approach to NIL since its inception and has been working behind the scenes to lead our efforts since this past fall. David is a dynamic presence for us in this space. His work with our coaches and student-athletes has been impactful and continues to further our goals in support of this new and ever-evolving arm of collegiate athletics. I am exceedingly confident David will be a force in supporting our programs and student-athletes." (link)

The Louisiana House Education Committee unanimously approved Senate Bill 465, which was introduced by Senator Kirk Talbot (R-River Ridge) and acts as a trigger-law that would immediately allow universities more involvement in NIL deals if federal law or NCAA regulations allow it. The bill would also allow schools and affiliated individuals to directly engage in NIL deals if the NCAA, federal government or a court case allows them to do so. Representative Charles Owen (R-Rosepine): I’m for this because it’s to keep us competitive, but…I think NIL is ruining college sports and is absolutely decimating small schools.” Talbot’s bill, which is now headed to the full House floor, would also make financial literacy classes an annual requirement for student-athletes.

The Athletic’s Scott Dochterman notes Libby was placed on paid administrative leave on March 28 and Iowa athletics retained Phil Catanzano, co-founder of the Education and Sports Law Group, to conduct an independent review of the women’s gymnastics program. Libby: “Leaving behind all of the wonderful coaches in all different sports, who mentored, encouraged, and inspired me throughout my years at Iowa will be the hardest part of saying goodbye. I will miss your friendship and unconditional support, but I look forward to the future and bringing all I have learned to whatever new opportunities lie ahead." (link)

Las Vegas will host the 2027 College Football Playoff national championship, while New Orleans, Dallas and Miami are negotiating to host the title games from 2028-30, respectively, according to Action Network’s Brett McMurphy, who is told by one source: “Supposedly, nothing is ever a ‘lock,’ but Las Vegas is a ‘lock' to host the 2027 game. It is a done deal. The College Football Playoff has been wanting to get to Vegas for years. We’ll finally get our wish.” If any of the aforementioned cities for the 2028-30 championships can’t reach an agreement, the CFP has selected Houston, Phoenix and Tampa as backup sites. (link)

Outgoing Ohio State AD Gene Smith says he believes a House v. NCAA settlement will happen “in the near future, and we will revenue-share,” although he does not believe student-athletes will be classified as employees, at least not yet. “I don’t think it’s gonna be like employees in the near future. I think that’s always gonna be on the table because of lawsuits and things of that nature, and I hope it doesn’t get there.” More from Smith on the House case: “Right now, the plaintiffs, their position is that student-athletes should receive 50% of the ticket sales, sponsorship and media rights. … That changes things big time. We’re fortunate they are looking at all schools, so having certain schools in that calculation – if it was just Ohio State, it’d be more money, but when you look at the aggregate, there’s an average. And I think it’s gonna be settled, and we’re gonna be looking at some new model for how student-athletes are compensated. … I think the biggest thing that people need to appreciate about it is the intercollegiate athletic model is going to change. And I’ve always told my teammates, you have to embrace change or be irrelevant. And so figure out how you’re gonna embrace it. And then be a part of that change.” (link)

OSKR’s Andy Schwarz shares some thoughts on the Government Accountability Office’s recent college sports gender equity report. He notes the formula for calculating the participation ratio is straightforward: “You look at the undergraduate M/F ratio and compare it to the athletic department M/F ratio and if it's out of whack, then so too is this prong of this requirement of Title IX. But as GAO makes clear, this doesn't mean you are out of compliance with Title IX; rather, meeting any one (or more) of the [three] prongs suffices for compliance. … Now, as anyone who knows anything about higher education in America could tell you, education is increasingly becoming female. Fewer boys, relative to girls, go to college after high school.” Schwarz argues that it’s “virtually impossible to have a robust athletic department that includes a football team and also meet a M/F ratio like UNC Chapel Hill, which is around 60% female as an undergraduate student body. (and also impossible to meet other Title IX reqs).” Meanwhile, Schwarz notes there’s no data field for "making continuous progress" in the EADA database nor is there a standard measurement to quantify the progress. “So yes, nice that GAO confirmed what any person with so-so data skills can extract from EADA data. Also cool that they made up a test for prong 2, though whether it's the right test or not is unknown. But there is no evidence of noncompliance (on the participation test) here. There is only evidence that schools are REALLY hanging their hat on Prong 3. (Or on Prong 2 being more lenient than 12 years to show improvement). That's the headline here. At least vis-a-vis participation.” Lots more. (link)

Former Alabama Football HC Nick Saban has released a statement concerning the use of his words in a pro-UAW ad: “I recently learned the United Autoworkers (UAW) union has taken the liberty of featuring my comments in advertisements released as part of its campaign to organize workers at Mercedes-Benz U.S. International, Inc. (MBUSI). Not only were these comments taken entirely out of context, they were also being used without my knowledge or permission. I do not personally endorse the UAW or its campaign and have asked the UAW to remove any advertisements featuring me from circulation. I encourage all Team Members to exercise their right to vote in the upcoming election.” A pro-union group had been using Saban’s past comments on unions for college football players in a series of TV and radio commercials.

Premier Opportunities…

+ Want to work at Tarleton State? Texans AD Steve Uryasz joins D1.ticker/Connect’s Kristen Eargle to outline two key openings on staff: the Senior Associate AD/CFO and the Senior Associate AD for Development. Uryasz also talks about his own decision to come to Tarleton: “After spending time at four other Division I institutions, it was really fun to think about building a program, making that transition to DI – full DI – and putting student-athletes in an opportunity to be successful. … I know the landscape of college athletics has changed a great deal in the last few years, but we can't forget what the fundamental goal is and that's to educate student-athletes so that they go on and be productive individuals. I always tell them my goal is that they graduate from Tarleton State University, go out and make millions of dollars, and donate half of it back to us.” More from Uryasz on Connect. (link)

+ Also, Kent State Assoc. AD for Compliance/Deputy Title IX Coordinator Phil Tizio joins Eargle to highlight the vision for the department’s Assistant Director of Compliance role and discuss what current projects the new hire will support, how the reporting structure is set up, what experiences he’s looking for in candidates and the culture at Kent State. Tizio says it’s important for candidates to be comfortable serving as part of an “approachable” compliance department. “We get out, we walk around, we go to practices. We have great relationships with our coaches here. So, someone that’s going to help us in that goal and in that aspiration we have to be approachable with all things – the good, the bad and indifferent. We're here to solve problems. More on Connect.

San José State Deputy AD for External Relations Scott MacDonald sits down with Connect's Steph Garcia Cichosz to share details of his career trajectory and offer insight into how he transitioned from a career in Communications and Sports Information to overseeing all External Units at SJSU. MacDonald, who spent time outside college athletics working in Minor League Baseball, discusses the evolving definition of fit, how to push out of your comfort zone and how he takes advantage of a two-hour commute. MacDonald on how his definition of fit has evolved over time: “Fit has really changed over the years for me. So, my fit now is family because I believe with my experience I can fit into any organization. So, it's really about family. Location is very important…and can I be successful there with my skill set? I think that's very important. I'm not going to take a job at this point in my career where I don't think I can go in and make a difference and improve that student-athlete experience and take that university to the next level.” Additionally, MacDonald notes being able to attend his children’s events and be present with his family “would be [important] when I talk to a president about whenever maybe I get the opportunity to be an athletic director. That’s always going to be front-and-center.” More in the latest edition of The Career Hustle on Connect. (link)

Following Boise State Football HC Spencer Danielson’s recent comments about NIL money for freshmen, Extra Points publisher Matt Brown notes: “Setting aside the uh, problematic optics of how this point was made, it’s not uncommon, and probably smart business, for schools similar to Boise State to not offer much in the way of guaranteed collective payments to true freshmen. Boise State is one of the best programs outside the P4, and the school rarely signs a top 300ish HS prospect. … A school like Boise is not going to have a $12M payroll to work with for their roster. Schools need to decide how much money they want to pay high school recruits, how much they want to pay current players (ideally to keep them from transferring elsewhere), and how much they want to pay potential transfers.” Brown goes on to observe that Danielson’s comments demonstrate the complications of talking and writing about NIL. “If we all use the same term to describe ‘trading card group license money,’ ‘sponsored Instagram story money’ and ‘booster-driven fake salary money,’ athletes, parents, agents and coaches are going to get confused. And in that confusion, there’s risk of people getting hurt, or at least, making poor decisions. So no, the first-year head coach isn’t banning NIL for his first-year athletes. But the fact that a reasonable person could think that he was speaks to why this industry and process needs to be communicated better.” (link)

EA Sports is considering putting ads in its traditional AAA titles, including, presumably, College Football 25. EA CEO Andrew Wilson: “Advertising has an opportunity to be a meaningful driver of growth for us. … We have teams internally in the company right now looking at how we do very thoughtful implementations inside of our game experiences." Extra Points publisher Matt Brown: “I realize I'm very much in the minority about this, but not only do I think this doesn't have to automatically be a terrible thing for consumers, but it could be a real benefit for the college sports industry. *Thoughtful* digital ad real estate can be new inventory for college sports MMR companies AND potentially help decrease investor risk in making other college sports properties. But of course, the devil is very much in the details/executions. Bad ad experiences are TERRIBLE.” (link, link)
